Dan correct about KMFDM though I have all the albums through Money (after that, nothing changes...ever). A good singles comp would work, though.

I don't know what possessed me to put Mantronix & Ramos on the tape. I musta been drunk. I don't even think I made this tape for maria even though there is one of those obligatory name-check songs on it. And Cod'ine is such a dusty warhorse. And you probably don't even have a tape-deck anymore. Anyway, lemme know.

i went on a 242 downloading spree on the *gulp* gothic.industrial.mp3 newsgroup. someone posted more-or-less everything.
tho - seriously get the Geography 2xcd release. has allsorts of goodies on it - pre 242 tracks, odd versions and unreleased early tracks. it's fantastic.
they were fantastic live in 89. and can i get any takers for signed front by front and back catalogue cd's ? can i heck. best not mention the nitzer ebb...

last time i saw them was on the 'front by front' tour in 1988 - i went to see them at the ancienne belgique in brussels. i thought that could never be beaten but have watched this recent AB gig and it is up there. such a great show! such a great set list! i'm still getting over the fact i had to give away my ticket as i had to work the night they played glasgow a few weeks ago. hopefully they will be back sooner than last time as i don't think i'm going to make waiting another 34 years.

woah! this is the one i was at. so it was '89, not 88! i can still vividly remember losing my shit to lots of this and then to the nth degree when they played "WYHIWYG / U-men".

I listened to 06:21:03:11 UP EVIL, one of their two albums from 1993, this morning. I don't think I'd heard it since it was new. It was pretty good! They were trying a little too hard to write "real songs," and the guitars seemed unnecessary (as they always did when anybody but Ministry used them), but overall pretty solid stuff.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Friday, 26 August 2022 12:47 (one year ago) link
agreed. of the 2 albums, these days i listen to OFF a lot more than EVIL.seemed to remember that OFF was billed as a more ambient album, which i guess is true.

I couldn’t find any posts on ILM about graphic novels about particular scenes or music subcultures, and this one goes across way too many bands, but this post has seen some recent action, so here we go!: my old pen pal Tomas has just published the English edition of the best graphic novel ever written about being a synth-obsessed teen in Sweden in the 80s/ 90s!
Richard 23 even contributed a jacket blurb!

due to this thread revive, i am currently loving the M✧✧@g✧.M✧✧@ge release.possibly the first time i have heard this to the end in well over a decade, and yeah, it's not really a F242 release at all, but an excellent mixtape of underworld/orb/prodigy enhanced 90s ambient techno.
other than Pulse (which i seem to recall not being well received by fans at the time), and the never ending live albums, have the band actually recorded any new material since the era of UP EVIL/OFF + eps/remixes excess ?
― mark e, Thursday, 22 September 2022 16:55 (one year ago) link
guess the use of the 'at' symbol caused trouble.of course i meant 'mutage.mixage'.
